RHM:  During the the President's inauguration he invited members of
the clergy to speak at the National Cathedral in DC. He included
members of all Jewish religious denominations which of course means
Orthodox rabbis too.
>
> After several Orthodox rabbis politely refused, Rabbi Lookstein accepted. He was criticized for that by many but he offered a vigorous defense of it.

Not to express an opinion on Rabbi Lookstein's decision - but for the
record, it should be noted that the National Cathedral is
Episcopalian, not Catholic.
